On that point, Dr. Kehoe is preaching to the converted. One of the big gaps in service is the lack of 24-7 emergency access to mental health treatment. There are a couple of pilot projects being run in County Galway at the moment. They seem to be working well, which is welcome. I know that a pilot will also be launched in Limerick later this year that involves An Garda Síochána. Teams will meet people in the area who are having a mental health crisis and, hopefully, triage, treat and refer them on to the appropriate services. I agree with Dr. Kehoe completely on that.
